> I need to buy a kit and don't know from whom, anyone else want to offer
Ulix,
I don't know if they're still around, but there was a place called Automat
in NY in Hicksville. I did find a phone # on the web - (516) 938-7373 . I
bought a closeout $100 set for my old MGB that blew away the "deluxe" crap
I got from, ahem, a major retailer. They were on the expensive side, but
ask about closeouts. They advertised in Road and Track for years back in
the days of Barbara Eden with a girl in a bikini under the ad line "Car Pet
Anyone?" Ah, simpler times...
Good luck,
Ron
